In the afternoon, Yang Yun called several people in charge of the Beijing Longteng headquarters and held a brief meeting by telephone, mainly to put forward some improvement ideas for the SS host.

Fang Jindong reported: "We have developed 4 different sets of customized special handles based on the design of ergonomics, plus the standard model, a total of 5 sets, and the response from gamers is quite good. And the feedback we received about keyboard and mouse peripherals is basically none, very little, and I don't think there is a need to develop a set of keyboard and mouse specifically. ”

Zhao Yongping had chatted with Yang Yun about these contents before, knowing Yang Yun's scruples, and took the initiative to remind Yang Yundao: "Although Longteng is involved in both SS and PC games, SS can be absolutely controlled, and the PC client can be said to be unlimited, and we can't reach it." So I suggest that we don't start this until we have to. ”

Let the games of the two platforms have an interconnected relationship, and it is uncontrollable, which is an intolerable thing in Zhao Yongping's eyes.

Zhang Guoqiang asked rhetorically: "But have you ever thought about how to chat and type if we don't have a keyboard and mouse when we do online battles?" Our SS platform has always been reserved for network interfaces, although many games are not available for the time being, but as a leader in the industry, we can't afford not to consider this aspect of the problem! What if everyone makes online games in the future? ”

Yang Yun's eyes lit up when he heard it, but he didn't expect Zhang Guoqiang to think far ahead.

Inoue Yoshio also agreed to make keyboard peripherals, and he used "Five Thousand Years Up and Down" as an example: "One of the biggest features of the Battle.net platform is the sharing of experience, and communication in the network still needs to be based on text. Chat typing is necessary. So if you have to discuss the results on SS hosting this time, my suggestion is to do it! ”

Accounts differ and opinions vary. Everyone put forward their own opinions, and Yang Yun weighed it again and again. I finally made up my mind.

"Keyboard and mouse have to be done, however, we can't use common standards, we have to use our own format, and all peripherals have to be produced by ourselves!" Yang Yun said: "We have a closer and closer relationship with China Resources Microelectronics, and Chiyang Group has a little opinion, so this time the keyboard and mouse peripherals will be handed over to Chiyang Group!" ”

Fang Jindong asked suspiciously: "Why do you want to make a special one?" If we support compatible universal keyboards, we can greatly reduce R&D and production costs. Isn't that good for both consumers and us? ”

Yang Yun explained: "In doing so, on the one hand, we are happy to protect ourselves from the impact of standard keyboards, allowing us to control the number of all keyboard-enabled games on the SS platform, and on the other hand, the dedicated keyboard can integrate our unique functions to facilitate SS access to the Internet in the future." ”

For example, if Shangyang Electronics intends to make "Blood Lion 3" a real-time strategy game with multiplayer online battles, they have two ways to do it, one is to develop a PC version. Adding a multiplayer online battle module to Blood Lion 3 and entering the public network to play online on your own is the standard way to sell PC real-time strategy games.

In another way, Shangyang Electronics applied to Longteng for the software development kit and game authorization letter for SS special keyboard and mouse. Then he developed "Blood Lion 3" that supported Longteng's dedicated keyboard and mouse, put it on the SS platform, and through Longteng's own battle network. Play online with players across the globe.

The difference between these two methods is that the PC version of Shangyang Electronics can be distributed at will. As long as it passes the game quality management audit jointly set by Longteng and the state, the game is graded. You can find a dealer to sell the game yourself.

The SS version must be restricted by Longteng, who allows "Blood Lion 3" to make keyboard and mouse and Battle.net before it can be released, otherwise Dragon Teng does not allow it, and players can only find the PC version if they want to play "Blood Lion 3" that supports keyboard and mouse.

Zhao Yongping carefully evaluated this approach, and finally figured it out, and suddenly realized: "Although we can't restrict game makers from making PC versions, we can make game makers on the SS platform who want to support keyboard operation abandon the PC version." This ensures that SS players will not take the initiative to find the PC version after getting used to the cooperation of the controller and keyboard, and they are still loyal supporters of SS! ”

Yang Yun said with satisfaction: "Yes! That's what it means! As long as we strictly control the quantity and contracts, consumers will not encounter a conflict between SS and PC games. ”

"Blood Lion 3" can't be played on SS without the keyboard authorization of Longteng, because players can't use it with an ordinary standard keyboard, how can it still have real-time strategy? That's why it comes to design and control the SS keyboard yourself!

In case any player particularly likes "Blood Lion 3", then he can only put down the controller and operate it on the PC, and after playing, he will still return to the living room to run Longteng's own "Diablo 1", play with his friends on Battle.net, and chat with the SS special peripheral keyboard kit, because on the PC, there is no Diablo 1 game at all......

Fang Jindong asked: "Then Mr. Yang, how should this keyboard be designed?" Just like a normal PC keyboard peripheral, and then add a few encryption and restriction modules? ”

I can't tell for a while on the phone,Yang Yun has the impression of the PS handle keyboard in his heart,Installed in the middle of the PS handle,Tightly stuck above the joystick,The width does not exceed the total width of the handle,In addition to the 26 English letters standard arrangement,There are also 1-0 10 numeric keys,In addition, there are shift,Tab (CapsLock),Enter,Backspace,ESC and other commonly used function keys,There is even a touchpad in a laptop。

"When I return to the capital, I will give you a design sketch, this kind of peripheral, we have to apply for a patent in advance!"

Yang Yun finally made up his mind to solve this hesitation problem.

Then next, things are not so difficult, there is also a "Diablo 1" perspective control, Yang Yun found Marcos and explained it with SS's handle.

"The stick on the left, or the D-pad, can control the character's movement, and you've done that. The right joystick controls the field of view cursor, that is, simulates the movement of the mouse, the function keys of the index finger of the right hand simulates the left mouse button, the function keys of the middle finger of the right hand imitate the right mouse button, and the triangle circle square and fork control the function keys, is it very simple? ”

Yang Yun held the handle with both hands and let Marcos watch his right hand movements, which was really convenient, and the only change was that the mouse movement became a right-handed thumbstick control.

Marcos suddenly realized: "I understand. This is the mouse, if we plug in another keyboard, all the problems can be solved! I'm really ...... right now I'm looking forward to the moment when the game comes out! ”

Yang Yun laughed: "I'm looking forward to it too!" Marcos, the plot and levels are all handed over to you, there is no pressure from other companies to give you, I hope you can make a perfect Diablo 1 out, you must keep improving, if you don't have enough manpower, feel free to report to me. ”

Leaving the design of Diablo 1 to Blizzard employees, Yang Yun only needs to keep an eye on it from time to time.

For this game, Yang Yun's biggest change is to cancel the Hellfire expansion, merge it into Diablo 1, and then move it to the SS platform.

Long Teng doesn't need to release one every year, and then hang the appetite of players, Yang Yun doesn't need to do this.

Because players all know that Longteng's products must be high-quality!

"Diablo 1" will surely set off a huge storm in the game industry and sweep the fantasy RPG game market!

……

……

After staying at the Shanghai R&D center for another three days, Yang Yun took the time to meet Zhu Shuguang once.

One is to report the progress of Loongson, and the other is about the construction of film and television game bases, both of which are quite long investment cycles, and the interests are very wide, and it is impossible to decide in a short period of time, and they have been delayed for a long time.

Zhu Shuguang looked thoughtful, and after seeing Yang Yun, he was not too polite, and said, "Go out with me for a spin." ”

Yang Yun followed him silently, and asked the secretary Xiao Liu with his eyes, but the other party was indeed secretive, so he had to sit in an ordinary car, not knowing where to go.

It took about an hour for the car to stop, and Zhu Shuguang was silent all the way, and Yang Yun and secretary Xiao Liu didn't dare to come out.

After getting out of the car, Yang Yun found that this is a remote village, the country roads and paths are just watered with cement, the farmers are working hard in the fields, the crops and seedlings are thriving, the wind blows, the original smell of the soil, it is spring, quite a sense of walking and relaxing.

Yang Yun was still taking a deep breath of the air without too much pollution, Zhu Shuguang suddenly said: "This is Hangtou Town, 5 kilometers north of here, the municipal government intends to build a provincial highway from Pudong Airport to Jiaxing, with an estimated investment of more than 10 billion." If you were given a 20-square-kilometre piece of land here, would you be satisfied? ”

The best location is of course allocated in Pudong New Area!

It's almost more than ten kilometers away from Central, and it's already very remote, and the traffic will be inconvenient or something in the future, so it's not very good?

Yang Yun asked with a tentative smile: "Is there no location in Pudong City?" ”

Zhu Shuguang said angrily: "20 square kilometers! Do you think the land in Pudong city is Chinese cabbage? ”

Yang Yun touched the back of his head, hehe smiled and didn't speak, too, such a large piece of land in the Pudong urban area is too luxurious and wasteful!

Xiao Liu walked over and spread out a planning map, the planned S32 provincial highway extends from the airport to Jiaxing, this Hangtou town is still in the south, almost 30 kilometers away from the city center.

"Hey, let me ask, where is that dripping lake?" Yang Yun suddenly remembered one thing, he was a game magazine reporter before he was reborn, and he was very sensitive to the lifting of China's game machine decree, and in 2013, the government issued a ban on game machines, which happened when Shanghai established a free trade zone.

Don't take the opportunity to pick up the leaks, this is not Yang Yun's style! (To be continued......)
